Early user experiences with General Agent’s ‘Ace’ model are suggesting a substantial leap in the viability of AI for everyday computer tasks. Unlike current offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude Computer Use and OpenAI computer-use-preview), which can be hampered by limitations in speed, intelligence, and cost, the Ace model is generating buzz for its near-production-ready performance. According to Reddit user /u/WompTune, the speed and functionality demonstrated in the demos available at generalagents.com/ace are particularly impressive, drawing comparisons to the watershed moment when ChatGPT-4 with tool calling revealed the practical potential of AI-powered workflows. /u/WompTune is actively seeking to connect with developers working on similar ‘computer use’ models and is open to compensating them for their insights and expertise.
